ABSTRACT
Objective: to predict the probability of blood glucose control in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus, exclusively treated with pharmacology therapy.
Material and methods: secondary analysis of a database to evaluate the therapeutic attachment in type-2 diabetics older than 60 years old. We interviewed 123 patients in their home to get information about sociodemographic aspects and diabetes characteristics. The blood glucose control was measured through glycated hemoglobin and the attachment to the pharmacological treatment was measured by the Morisky-Green test. The analysis included simple logistic regression; the calculation of probability of control for different levels of therapeutic attachment was estimated using the result of the regression equation (y) and applying the formula 1/1 + e
–y.
Results: Monotherapy was present in 82.1 %, glibenclamide was prescribed alone in 77.2 %, glycated hemoglobin average was 11.5 ± 3.5 %, 18 % of the population was controlled and 58.1 % showed some attachment to the pharmaco-logical treatment. With a total attachment to the pharmacological prescription, the control pro-bability is 27 %, and without it, it corresponds to 10 %.
Conclusion: Almost three out of ten patients with a total attachment to the pharmacological treatment have chances of being controlled.
